Personal care includes essential activities such as bathing, grooming and meal preparation. This is also a good way to improve mental health and wellbeing.
It takes a lot to care for someone with a disability. Easy healthcare provides respite and disability care to help primary caregivers.
Hygiene and Grooming
A person’s daily hygiene and grooming routine is important for maintaining their health, appearance and well-being. This is important to prevent the spread of bacteria that can cause infection. It promotes pride and dignity.
Hygiene practices include washing hands and teeth, bathing, brushing, and cleaning the body to prevent disease and illness. Grooming is a practice that focuses on the skin and practices that improve a person’s appearance. This includes hair care, nail care, and shaving.
The Personal Hygiene and Grooming course from eduCBA will give you tips to help your clients maintain these life-saving skills. If you see any marks or bruises on your client that are not explained, it could be an indication of abuse or neglect. You should address this immediately. You should also ensure that your client’s clothing is free from stains and clean. They will feel more confident and comfortable when they interact with others.
Prepare Meals
There are many people with disabilities who require assistance in preparing nutritious and healthy meals. Home Care Assistance Sunshine Coast & Wide Bay provides NDIS meal delivery and preparation services. They offer dietary support, and tailor-made meals that suit individual preferences.
The NDIS can fund meal preparation if the support meets the criteria for being “reasonable” and “necessary”. If, for example, your disability prevents your from being able to go grocery shopping or cook within the allocated time of support, funding under the NDIS may be considered reasonable.
You will receive a quote for meal preparation support if your NDIS plan is included. This quote will detail the costs of preparing and delivering meals. You will be responsible for paying the remaining 30% of the quote. The NDIS covers 70% from your Core Supports Budget. The NDIS views food preparation as an ‘everyday expense’.
Social Interactions
NDIS participants who are unable to participate in social activities can receive support as part of their personal care services. It can also help to reduce their feelings of loneliness and build relationships in the community. NDIS participants might also need help with medication, travel, and medical appointments.
Planners of the NDIS consider a number of factors, including whether or not personal care services are reasonable and can be provided in a way that is less intrusive than other arrangements. The supports are also evaluated in terms of the degree of independence and the functional skills they will allow.
